Ka'ie'ie is a degree pathway program with Honolulu, Kapi'olani, Leeward, and Windward Community Colleges and the University of Hawai'i
at Manoa (UHM). It is a dual-admission, dual-enrollment program for students who are pursuing a four-year
undergraduate degree, but choose to begin their degree at Honolulu CC, Kapi'olani CC, Leeward CC, and/or Windward CC. It is focused on students successfully
transferring from these Community Colleges to UHM while completing their academic degrees.

The main goals of Ka'ie'ie are:

Transfer smoothly and graduate with a Bachelor’s degree from UH.

Provide mandatory advising and academic planning to students and connect them earlier to their major department at UHM.

Provide students the opportunity to take courses at one or both institutions while identifying the best time to transfer.

There are two (2) categories in Ka'ie'ie. Students need to join first, then transfer whenever appropriate.
